Every bit as much of a one-of-a-kind experience as the first game, with just as much goofy and awkwardness, but it's just genuinely a more enjoyable experience due to a lot of improvements to the gameplay like not being forced to wait in real time for objectives, the combat feeling more refined and the cast of characters being written better and more memorable, plus the story being more compelling and the mini-games being more fun. The ending sequence was incredible and made the whole journey worth it.
